Perugia is an old town among the moun tains, in the valley of tte Tiber, about one hundred miles above Rome, into which our caravan was landed early in the after noon and of course we immediately pro ceeded to investigate it. From the terrace of the fortification, built by order of Pope Paul III., we had a most interesting view of the near chain of Apennines, white with newly fallen snow. We faced a nipping breeze for a while and then retreated to a bright fire of olive wood which the maid lighted for us in a cosy little parlor and which we devoted the evening to keeping up by piling on the contents of the wood box, which was filled with hard, knobby old roots, which took no small ingenuity so to arrange that the various protuber ances would fit into the divers bends in a way to coax the f...

Our New York Letter. Drew's Falure-JoAgep 3at-lents-Politi cal-A ad Story-Duuness. t Faox o'a Raew.Ani ConaZeroxesa1. NEW YORK, Marh 26, 1876. DREW'S FAILURE C Reaches out a long way, and is making U trouble all around. A great many years ago he endowed several seminaries by giv- t ing his note for a large amount, the interest on which would be sufficient to maintain them. It was understood that the princi pal was never to be paid, and the benefac tions were put in the form of notes, that in t the event of his death they might become charges on his estate. The Drew Semina ry, in Plainfileld, N. J., held his note for $250,000, the interest being about $17,000, which he always paid promptly. Now that Bro. Drew has gone under, the notes are worth just what the paper weighs, and the seminaries are mourning. They have I nothing whatever to run on, and are as hard up as Drew himself. . Hereafter they I will probably insist that the money be paid over when it is subscribed, that it may be ...

The bold and uncompromising stand ta ken by George William Curtis, in opposi tion to instructing the New York delega tion for Conkling, meets with the heartiest approval of the best Republicans of New York. It is evident that Conkling did not fall into the hands of the best class, and that fact has turned against him many who would otherwise have given him a very hearty support. To-day lne-tenths of the 'Iepublicans of the city are throwing up their hats for Curtis, and Conkling is in no position to carry the delegation. And may I whisper a word of advise to Republicans everywhere? Don't instruct. Don't go into the National Convention with any pets or with your hands tied for anybody. The party never was made for a man. It has work to do, and instead of being used as the means of elevating individuals,it should use...

A QUvsETIo ASlWot .D. Max Adeler Is Asked His Opinion and Gives It. The following question has been propos ed to us : "I sent a substitute to the war, and he was disabled by wounds. As I paid him for his services, am I not entitled' to his pension ? . P. R. L. JONES. This person could not have sought for in formation in a better quarter. It is per fectly clear that the substitute was the agent of Mr. Jones, and nothing is better determined by law than that a principal and his agent are one and the same person to all intents and purposes. If this is true, Jones himself was really in the army, and was disabled by wounds. In that case it is evident that he is entitled to the full amount of the pension. At the same time the actual fact is that the substitute was in the army and received the wounds ; so he also is entitled to the whole pension. But, as the Government only had the service of one man, it will, of course, pay but one pension. Now, how Jones is to receive the whole of this, ...
